A large crowd fills a hall with hanging orange, purple and blue tassel decorations overhead. In the centre, a man wearing an orange-red robe, a red turban, and a long beaded garland stands on a golden raised seat, holding a tall golden staff topped with an ornament. Foreground devotees in white and grey clothes face him, some with their backs to the camera. Film cameras on tripods and a stage marked Sahyogis are at the right, and a large screen shows images at left. Swamiji (probable): the central figure has a turban, saffron-orange clothing and a rudraksha-style mala, which are compatible cues for a presentation of the teacher, though the appearance is not fully certain.
